The photography style couldn’t be more recognisable as being that of Mert & Marcus, the bronzed skin, cutaway dresses and gladiator shoes (not to mention the buff male cast) couldn’t be more Versace. Pulling out the big guns of Kate Moss, Daria Werbowy and Joan Smalls is the label’s spring 2013 campaign.

Cass Bird and Daria Werbowy are something of a match made in heaven. That’s probably why label Maiyet paired the two for their spring 2012 campaign, and – it now transpires – again for the fall 2012 season. The now short-haired Daria is making something of a comeback (much to our delight) and the new Maiyet campaign plays to her natural careless cool factor.

With three striking covers featuring three big names of the modelling world (Daria Werbowy, Lara Stone and Kate Moss), Vogue Paris’ September 2012 issue issue was always going to generate some buzz. But more captivating than the names themselves is the noir theme that dominates the issue. A series of shoots by Mert & Marcus explores the theme in different ways, with Kate Moss’ imagery…

The coming winter 2012 fashion season is dominated by two women’s looks: masculinity and the new noir (or the new gothic, if you will). While it was the former that dominated the catwalks, it’s the appeal of the latter that dominates old media and the pictorials they create. Vogue Paris picks up on the vibe as they give their publication a makeover and make noir…

Daria Werbowy could cover Tatler wearing a paper bag and we’d probably still be excited to see her, such effortless tomboyish beauty does she possess. In spring 2012‘s sparkling spangles and sequins, including Gucci’s shimmying Art Deco dress and a number of sequin-covered bodysuits, she could look the pinnacle of neatly engineered glamor. But with dishevelled hair and smudged dark eyes in tact, it’s the…

It is, perhaps, one of the most pristine takes on the year’s rockabilly hair revival that we’ve seen to date. In fact, everything about Vogue Paris’ February cover is an ultra-glamorous modern take on the 1950s: the bejewelled Prada bodysuit, the drippings of diamonds, and then – changing the entire feel of the outfit – a masculine hairstyle turned pretty. Without the hard rock infusion,…

Peter Lindburgh has a winning formula that goes a little something like this: beautiful young model, seasoned male actor, cinematic romance. Some past works paired Daria Werbowy with David Strathairn, Daphne Groeneveld with Pascal Greggory. The latest: Lara Stone and American actor Fred Ward. While there’s something inherently captivating about such a pairing – an endless fascination with younger women and older men – the…

There’s flawlessly romantic styling by Ivana Martyn-Zyznikow and beautiful photography by Daniella Rech; but more than anything I’m distracted in this shoot by one thing. Namely, how much Rosemary Smith, especially in the sand-and-surf setting, could pass for Daria Werbowy. You’d be forgiven for doing a double-take.

It’s hard to resist posting about Daria Werbowy. She skips so easily between personas, the natural unfussy tomboy to the Terry Richardson vamp, or perhaps somewhere nestled comfortably in between. Somewhere in which soft-yet-sexy is the reigning quality, where black lace is contrasted against leather, where clothing is balanced against skin (is anything more eye catching than the bare back?) and where soft, romantic hairstyles…

It seems rare, these days, to see Daria Werbowy as anything but her natural, effortless, tomboyish self. Not that vampish glamour was ever, for even a second, out of her reach. That’s what Terry Richardson is liable to bring out in a cover girl for Vogue Russia, where Daria’s accompanying shoot has her feline eyes accentuated by shimmering shadows of varying hues, not to mention…
